Jump For Joy: Adrenaline Rush Grand Opening, Ribbon-Cutting Saturday

EAST HAVEN, CT —They had a soft opening last week, but Saturday it's the grand opening and local officials, including East Haven Mayor Joseph A. Carfora, will be on hand for the ribbon cutting.

Adrenaline Rush Trampoline Park at 709 Foxon Road is located on the site of the former Rockin' Jump venue. A recreation center that includes trampoline basketball, dodgeball, jousting, and a ninja course, opens its doors at 11 a.m.

The first 15 jumpers, ages 3 to 16, will get a free 30-minute jump, free T-shirt and a media photo opp. The next 50 guests to arrive get $5 off their jump time or a membership purchase.

Closed on Mondays, the trampoline park is Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and on Sundays, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Adrenaline Rush Trampoline Park offers timed jumping options as well as hosting parties. Parties will likely be a big draw, and it's taking reservations now.

And it has a full concession with a talented chef, they said.
